Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- The animals were New Zealand White rabbits, 2-4 months of age, purchased from Johnson Rabbit Ranch. The rabbits arrived in three shipments with overall body weight ranges of 1.84-2.81 kg. The rabbits were held in quarantine for 3-6 weeks and examined to ensure their health and suitability as test subjects. Individuals were identified by metal ear tags and cage cards.
Each rabbit was provided with approximately 150 g of Purina Rabbit Chow HF #5326 daily. Reverse osmosis-purified water was supplied ad libitum. The rabbits were housed individually in stainless steel cages with Polyzorb cage liners placed below the mesh floor. The animal room average temperature and relative humidity were 22°C and 62%, respectively. Fluorescent lighting was provided on a 12 hour light/dark cycle.
Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- shaved
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- The test article was administered undiluted, individual doses were weighed onto aluminium foil to facilitate dosing. 0.5 g was applied uniformly to the pre-shaved moistened backs of the rabbits.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- 14 days
- Number of animals:
- Three males and three females
- Details on study design:
- Rabbits were selected at random for the study.
The test site was prepared by clipping the fur from an area of approximately 240 cm². Each rabbit's back was moistened with reverse-osmosis-purified water immediately prior to dosing. The test material was covered with a 2.5x2.5 cm adhesive dressing. The mid section of each rabbit was wrapped in a lint-free cloth towel and Elastoplast bandage. The dressings were removed four hours after application of the test material and the test sites were rinsed with light mineral oil and wiped with a paper towel to remove residual test material.
The rabbits were weighed immediately prior to dosing for calculation of doses. All animals were observed daily for signs of mortality and morbidity. Observations for signs of dermal irritation were made at 30-60 minutes after dressing removal, then at 24, 48 and 72 hours, 7 and 24 days later. The descriptive criteria and scores of Draize were used.
Rabbits were euthanised at study termination on day 15, necropsies were not performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Trimellitic anhydride is not considered to be an irritant to the skin according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
The skin irritation potential of trimellitic anhydride was evaluated in 3 male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits. 0.5 g of the test material was applied to the shaved and pre-moistened backs of the rabbits, and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. The dressings were removed at the end of the exposure period and the test sites rinsed with light mineral oil. Each application site was examined for dermal irritation and corrosivity 30 -60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 and 14 days following removal of the wrappings. No deaths occurred during the course of the study. The test material was slightly irritating. All animals had recovered by the end of the observation period. No signs of dermal corrosivity were seen in any rabbit. Trimellitic anhydride is not considered as a skin irritant. On this basis, trimellitic anhydride does not warrant any classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
